However, those providing health promotion services often focus on medical procedures and health education messages, ignoring the cultural, socio-economic and psychological dimensions that impact on women's health. This research aimed to look at a specific component of health promotion, i.e. health promotion messages shared with pregnant women attending Stellenbosch and Klapmuts Community Health Centre Antenatal Health Promotion Programme and their perceptions of how they apply messages in their daily lives.enPregnant womenHealth and hygienePregnancyPsychological aspectsSocial aspectsPrenatal careHealth promotionMaternal health servicesThesisUniversity of the Western Cape
